Wow, that's a lot of badges. Any badge-less activities, or have you just been collecting pretty pictures?

No, I'm not just collecting pictures Though I will admit I haven't been very active lately in most of these things (nor in the badged things, either, for that matter).

I'm Royal Reminderer in the Court of King 2legs.

I'm Keeper of inside jokes, even after they're not funny to anyone else anymore...⁶

I'm one of the Amys, a questioner⁷ (we won the race to 10K⁸ posts!), and I admit to my addiction...

And I received a wolf cub from Amy† shortly after I joined h2g2. She's an adorable ball of golden fur with mahogony eyes, and I've named her Flamedancer⁹

I was interviewed for the Post! 29.11.2001...

Go check out my entry on Epilepsy, which made the Front Page on 11.1.02...

OK, for all those breathlessly waiting¹⁰, I've finally gotten around to updating my H2G2 Code¹¹...

So, do you know lots of people on H2G2?

I'd say so! I used to list the majority of them, but since the Friends' List was started, I use that when I want to visit people, mostly. That said, a lot of the people I've known aren't on H2G2 anymore, and some of those I don't have any other way to contact them

Some of my friends can be found here¹³.

You can find the location of lots of H2G2ers here, not just people I know.

Have you had any offline contact with any H2G2ers?

Yep I've met some face-to-face, and spoken on the phone with more!

In the order that I met them¹⁵! People with an asterix next to their name I know primarily IRL¹⁶ and folks with a ~ next to their name have been to my home¹⁷.

Including those that I've only spoken to for a couple seconds on a call from a meet, as well as those that I've spent hours on the phone with--and speaking with over Skype, as opposed to typing over it, counts as a phone call...

OK, this is the last question, I swear... What on earth is a mufflewhump???

Fair question, as I'm constantly giving them out...

A mufflewhump is whatever you want it to be, but it's always very wonderful. Therefore, mufflewhumps are the best gifts... They stay in their balls-of-unrealized-potential state¹⁸ until taken up by (or given to) someone who has a definite want, either conscious or unconscious. Mufflewhumps can become nearly anything¹⁹--the only limitations are that they can't become something sentient or something that can be used against the interests of the giver. They're quite handy, as well as being great gifts--I've often picked one up while concentrating and gotten things I need here on h2g2.

¹But I can't use senior and junior to differentiate between them, because their middle names are different. Although they both start with 'J'.²Though you'll never see me call him Thomas... If you see me referring to Thomas instead of Tom, I'm talking about Tom's dad³In Crescent City, California, to be a bit more precise...⁴Or been in a conversation with me for more than a post or two⁵Though her account's older than that! I originally started it as a place to keep all my pregnancy appointment information.⁶Some of which are here...⁷I haven't been to Questions Only 1 or 2 for a long time... I should wander back there...⁸And 20K--the race was between us and the Thingites at N3.⁹Though she's been snoozing since before PaperBaby made her Grand Arrival.¹⁰All zero of you¹¹Though, surprisingly, it hasn't changed much... ¹² Though that's not my password¹³If you haven't added yourself yet, please do¹⁴¹⁴If you're just stopping by and don't consider me a friend (yet), but still want to be mapped, see the next link up in the main part of the page¹⁵Unless I met a bunch at the same time, in which case they'll be alphabetical¹⁶So far, just family members¹⁷Unless of course it's their home too!¹⁸Looking like sparkly rainbow dustbunnies¹⁹Most common seem to be foodstuff or pets
